Paraty - Brazil's best kept secret
"a
rare beauty almost unchanged for over 250 years. Stone paved-streets,
baroque churches, rain forests, and colonial houses. Paratí has more
than 60 islands and around 300 unforgettable beaches", National Geographic
The real star of Paraty Explorer, without whom none of this would be possible. Paraty was recently voted into the Top 20 best historic destinations by National Geographic, more here.
Founded in the 17th Century Paraty has a very rich and colourful history rooted in the sugar, gold, coffee and slave trades and is home to one of the best preserved areas of unspoilt Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil. Outstanding natural beauty, the architectural charm of the old town and the hospitality and friendliness of the locals make this a great destination.
The only real doubt is how long can Paraty continue to be Brazil's best kept secret.
